(Nasdaq: ATVI) has announced that id Software™'s Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection™ for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system is now available at retail outlets nationwide.  The epic World War II adventure fuses heart-stopping action and frightening gameplay with the pursuit to topple the Third Reich's fiendish army of elite soldiers, zombies and genetically engineered super-soldiers.  Developed by Raster Productions, Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection carries a suggested retail price of $49.99 and is rated "M" for mature by the ESRB.  

"We've created Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection with the goal to make the best first person experience on the PlayStation 2," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software.  "From tense covert and tactical combat to the overwhelming action of mowing down the Fuhrer's zombified henchmen, Operation Resurrection will keep fans glued to their PlayStation 2s."

Set within WWII, Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection enlists players into a whirlwind tour of duty. Taking the role of badass U.S. Army Ranger B.J. Blazkowicz, players must infiltrate the heart of the evil empire in Nazi Germany and stop the deranged plans of the Third Reich.   Throughout the action-packed experience, players are locked in combat against hordes of Nazi storm troopers, undead Teutonic knights and the twisted products of genetic experimentation.  The action stretches from the deserts of Egypt to the forests of Germany to icy compounds in Norway.  

Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection features an all-new campaign, where gamers meet Agent One, the O.S.A.'s most senior operative.  In the entirely new set of missions, gamers, with the tactical support of Agent One, take the fight from the outskirts of Egypt straight to Castle Wolfenstein, further drawing players into the Occult-filled Nazi nightmare with an unfolding story that plays out like a heart-stopping action movie.
